A lot of peoples come to the river for bathing, idol immersion, jaware viserjan etc. The main objective of present study was to analyze water quality changes at some festivals. The water samples collected were analyzed, as per standard method parameters such as Physico- chemical parameters like pH, Alkalinity, Total hardness, DO, BOD and Bacterial parameter E coliform and significant changes were observed on the water quality of the Jabalpur region of Hiran and coliform values indicating that river water is not safe for pilgrim’s health point of view. Further, the study suggested Pariyat Rivers. Increased pollution load deteriorating the water quality of both rivers day by day. Higher fecal that some eco-friendly water quality management strategy is required during all the festivals at different Ghats to achieve the aim of sustainable development.
